Drunk husband ‘killed by wife in self-defence’
A woman in Ang Thong province was arrested after her drunk, knife-wielding husband was killed while she allegedly fought off an attack on her on Monday night, police said.
Sunee Pasaleh, 35, was arrested at her house in Muang district past midnight after she called police to the scene.
Sunee claimed she had tried to defend herself when her husband, Suwan Phochak, 42, tried to attack her with a knife.
Sunee said her husband was drunk when he returned from an annual Red Cross fair with friends. She said he was jealous and quarrelled with her.
Sunee said her husband accidentally stabbed himself during his fight with her. She told police she called 1669 emergency health line but he died before the emergency team arrived and hence had called police.
The Muang Ang Thong police chief said Sunee would be interrogated further before charges were filed against her.
